Aldi has announced plans to open 16 new stores across the UK over the coming months, as it continues to invest in expanding its store estate.
The discounter will open new stores in areas including Watford and Hoxton in London, Hattersley in Greater Manchester, and Balsall Common in the West Midlands.
The latest spate of openings is part of the retailer’s long-term ambition to operate 1,500 stores across the UK. Aldi currently has more than 1,080 stores across the country, and has earmarked £370m in investment for new shops in 2026.
Aldi UK managing director of national real estate Jonathan Neale said: “At Aldi, we’re committed to making high-quality, affordable food accessible to everyone, which is why we continue to invest in expanding our store network across the UK.
“Our £370m investment in new stores this year will help us bring Aldi’s unbeatable value to even more communities, supporting local economies through our industry-leading pay for colleagues.”
